President Trump just took an IQ test — of sorts

Yesterday, the President essentially announced that warring with Iran is a great idea

 

See here.

 

Then, he immediately went on to slam American business.

 

 

Yes — a "black hole stellar" IQ

 

From Reuters:

 

 

Licenses for Boeing Co and Airbus to sell passenger jets to Iran will be revoked, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Tuesday after President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement.

 

IranAir had ordered 200 passenger aircraft - 100 from Airbus SE, 80 from Boeing and 20 from Franco-Italian turboprop maker ATR.

 

All the deals are dependent on U.S. licenses because of the heavy use of American parts in commercial planes.

Boeing stands to lose roughly $20 billion

 

There go a bunch of American workers' jobs.

 

I guess the President figures that Boeing will make this loss back, after his concocted war with Iran begins.

 

He doesn't give a darn about Airbus and ATR, although Europeans will. They'll lose jobs, too.

 

Who needs allies?

 

Certainly not Donald Trump or the United States and our metaphorically golden penis pumps.

 

 

Did you notice that Iran is the target and not North Korea?

 

Why?

 

'Cause North Korea has nukes.

 

We know they'll use them, if we get too aggressive.

 

 

What's the lesson for Iran?

 

Get nukes.

 

 

What's the lesson for North Korea?

 

Keep nukes.


 

The unavoidable conclusions?

 

Peace is not the American goal.

 

And President Trump values thump-bluster over smarts.

 

 

The moral? — US leaders are — as an averaged whole — (arguably idiot) warmongers

 

They just vary in the degrees of hypocrisy that they display in announcing why killing people and destroying comparatively peaceful economies are good things to do.

 

As long as American leadership is able to line its pockets with other people's loot, it's happy.

 

Are you?
